Sweet Corn... oh my. {call me 'Grace'} ; )


Haven't taken Miss. Peanut for a walk, over the last several days... to check out the Sweet Corn, in Scout's Pasture...
She's not been up to it.


She ate a little, yesterday... which is encouraging.


The ONLY thing I can bribe her with is 
Braunschweiger.
{she'll sip a little beef bone broth, and water.}

Trust me... I've tried Everything.

At least... she felt up to a walk, this morning.
; )
<3

The Sweet Corn... has GROWN So Much!!
Holy Smokes!!
That's a LOT of Sweet Corn!!
YIKES!!
; )

Justin put up electric fence... all around it, to keep the Raccoon out.
 so far...
it's 
Holdin'!!
; )

While walking Peanut... we Kept FAR Away... from that fence.
; )
The Dew was Heavy... I was in Bare Feet.
That could Spell Trouble in a Hurry, if I 'happened' to touch it.
; )
Electrifying!!!
Hahahahahaha!!!

I grew up with 'electric fence'.
Have Huge Respect...
for
it.
; )
Once you've been Zapped...
well,
Ya Never Forget It!!
; )
EVER!!!
: )
ZING!!!
; )

While carrying in groceries, yesterday...
had my arms FULL.
{Oh no... can't make three trips, have to Lug them All in at Once.}
{It was a Hot Day. Git 'er Done.}
Was making my way through the breezeway, 
{I've been going through boxes of things that are heading to The Rabbit Hole, they are all stacked in the breezeway, for now.
Just... reminded 'J'... Thursday, as he was carrying something outside, to be 'careful' not to trip... on those 
'boxes'.}
; )

Guess... who tripped on them.
???

Arms Full...
Lord... Lord.
; )

Was Just... stepping through the Kitchen door, when I got Hung Up.
; )
I went DOWN.
HARD!!!
but...
didn't let go of those Groceries!!!
; )
Hahahahahaha!!!!
; )

Got All scraped up, on my right side.
My arm looks like Hamburger from scraping down the door's casement.
; )
{won't even talk about my right knee... that Took The Brunt!!! ; ) }

As I laid face first... on the kitchen floor, with Grocery bags... all around me, handles...
locked inside my
 Tightly Clenched Fists...
all I could think of...
was,
 
'this... is gonna leave a mark'.

Hahahahahahaha!!!!

{Thank God... I'm a Horsewoman!! 
I... Understand 'Hurt'...
Very
Well!!}
; )

Son Of A ... 
gun.
; )

It's been a long, long... time, 
but... found out day before yesterday...
The Gypsy Ford...
is coming
'Home'.
<3

She'll be 'Home' next Wednesday.
<3
; )

She's been kinda torn apart, but...
I'll be glad to get her 'Home' 
no matter.
<3


Don't know what it is about that old Giant of a Ford.
; )

She was Beat to Hell and Back, when I first bought her.
<3

She's kinda worthless... for most anything, but Pulling...
 Mud Running, or...
drivin' down the road.
; )
{Ya better keep your mouth shut while ridin' in her.
; )
Ya hit a bump... {a pebble : ) }
tiny, as it may be, if you don't have your jaws locked, ya... may chip a tooth, or two!!!}
Hahahahahaha!!!
; )
She's a Mighty Ruff... Rider.
; )
10 inch lift, with.... a dozen STIFF... shocks, or so.
; )
Tuff Old Gal, to say the very least.
<3

Bought her... the year after John passed away.
She... in many ways... was my therapy.
'Escape'.
: )

Paid 3500. for Her.
She Owes Me Nothing.
<3
A 'Therapist' couldn't BEGIN to have Helped me, for that kind of 'money', as Much... 
as 
The Old... Gypsy Ford, has... over the last many years.
<3

Remember... after my 'tumble' down the basement stairs, I, too... was pretty broken up, in many 'pieces'.

Gypsy... 
was my 
'Goal'.
; )

I'll never forget the day, I could finally... climb back UP into her.
<3
Knew then, if I could Pull myself back Up... into 'Her', I... could handle most anything.
; )

Sadly... she's not on her 'wheels'.
She's in pieces...
that's o.k.
{Ain't We All... at Times!!}
; )

I'll just be Happy... to Have Her HOME!!
: )

Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
